Past Fantasy Outlooks

2021

2020

Davis has an option remaining and figures to spend most of 2021 shuttling back and forth between the minors and the big-league roster. He will provide valuable depth to a Toronto outfield that was bolstered by the addition of George Springer, although that value may not translate to our game barring multiple injuries ahead of him on the depth chart. If unexpected playing time were to open up, Davis would likely be a popular add given his speed and the team context. That said, Davis is nearing his 29th birthday and his sprint speed was only in the 77th percentile last season. The big question is whether he could even hit enough for the speed to play in mixed formats. Davis, after missing some time in July with an unspecified issue, upped his barrel rate in his limited sample last season, but that increase came with a jump in strikeout rate to an untenable 32.4%.

After logging 27 plate appearances during his initial stint in the majors in 2018, Davis was given considerably more playing time with Toronto last season. He didn't do much with the opportunity, slashing .181/.266/.265 with a trio of stolen bases in 37 games. Davis doesn't boast great power but has managed to reach double-digit home run totals in each of his last four minor-league seasons, topping out at 14 in 2016. His biggest asset is undoubtedly his plus-speed; he has averaged 23 stolen bases over the same time span and has succeeded in six of seven attempts in the majors. That's a useful tool, but Davis' tepid hitting -- he owns a career .258 minor-league average -- dampens his outlook considerably in spite of a demonstrated willingness to take a walk or hit-by-pitch. Toronto will be looking to fill an outfield spot next season, but it's a stretch to expect Davis to seize a starting role.
